But that type of language is usually disclosed. We would know if he did. Yea, just speculation based on that 1) guys never get suspended for language and 2) if it was "language" then it was almost certainly more than the George Carlan magic words.

TheTruth05 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 and Ricky musta have dropped the F-bombs too? Nah i don't buy that. MLB is trash for not suspending any other Royals personnel. Their whole fuckin garbage team was on the field around TA before anybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he can take the one game. Like Schwarber did? And others have gotten two games as the standard for racial or homophobic slurs.

People who use homophobic slurs are suspended for longer than one game. If Tim Anderson appeals, and he will, you will learn the absurdity of this suspension.

Texsox Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 5 minutes ago, flavum said: You got a point. If Timmy let a homophobic slur out in the heat of the moment, their hands are tied. Not saying he did, but we need more details if he’s getting suspended for only language. Which is more important to MLB? Airing an individual player's dirty laundry in public, or the fan's desire to know what he said? I don't know the last time someone was suspended, but the first was almost twenty years ago when John Rocker received 73 games for speech. https://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/01/sports/baseball-baseball-suspends-rocker-till-may-for-comments.html Quote Commissioner Bud Selig, saying John Rocker had dishonored Major League Baseball by disparaging many groups of society with his harsh comments in a magazine interview, suspended the Atlanta Braves' No. 1 relief pitcher yesterday for 73 days, marking the first time a baseball player has been disciplined for speech. The players' union said that it would file a grievance challenging the suspension and suggested that the disciplinary action was a public relations move. Selig said that Rocker could not participate in spring training with the Braves, a 45-day period, and could not play during the first 28 days of the season. The commissioner also fined Rocker, a 25-year-old Georgian, $20,000 and ordered him to undergo sensitivity training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 So chances are he said something along the lines of "you [n words] ..." Has there been any explicit ban on this language by black players like the NFL has done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the NFL and NBA could field a roster most games if the refs suspended black guys for dropping a N____a" once and awhile in the course of play.
